Exclusive: Mychala Faith Lee talks Truth Be Told Season 3
Currently playing on Apple TV+ is the third season of its NAACP Image Award-winning anthology “Truth Be Told” starring Academy Award winner Octavia Spencer, who also executive produces, and award-winning actress Gabrielle Union, who joins the all-new season.
Hailing from acclaimed writer, showrunner and executive producer Nichelle Tramble Spellman, the 10-episode third season sees Spencer reprise her role as investigative reporter turned true crime podcaster, 'Poppy Scoville,’ to take on a new case. “Truth Be Told” season three made its debut with the first episode, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday through March 24, 2023, on Apple TV+.
Based on the novel “While You Were Sleeping” by Kathleen Barber, “Truth Be Told” offers a unique glimpse into America’s obsession with true crime podcasts and challenges its viewers to consider the consequences when the pursuit of justice is placed on a public stage. In season three, Poppy (Spencer), frustrated by the lack of media attention for several young missing Black girls, teams with an unorthodox principal (Union) to keep the victims' names in the public eye, while chasing down leads to a suspected sex trafficking ring that may have ensnared them.
In addition to Union, season three stars returning cast members Mekhi Phifer, David Lyons, Ron Cephas Jones, Merle Dandridge, Tracie Thoms, Haneefah Wood, Mychala Faith Lee and Tami Roman.
Mychala Faith Lee plays Trini Killebrew, the daughter of Markus Killebrew (a former detective and long time friend of Poppy). The Cal State University alum has a major arc this season and is central to the storyline as opposed to the previous seasons. She was also recently seen opposite Queen Latifah and Ludacris in the Netflix film ‘End of the Road.’ One of her upcoming projects is The Spiderwick Chronicles.
